उत्तर
Colour blindness is a sex-linked disorder and is caused by a recessive gene located on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome of male does not carry any gene for colour vision and the defect appears in the presence of a single recessive gene (XcY). As a result, colour blindness is more common in males (8%) as compared to females (0.4%).
